Who knows the difference? Greenmountain or Reynaud
Drubin,You are correct. Roy said I should give them a week or so break-in for optimal performance though.

Tmoon,I'll be happy to let you know about two weeks after I get them. That should be ample time for break-in.

The GMA Calypso is a brand new floor standing model and not yet in any dealer showrooms to my knowledge. I have been told it is flat out incredible. I have a pair on order. Mine have yet to ship, and I have been promised the first pair to the U.S.... 
GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
Minbean, I appologize if I came across as pushy, as that was not my intention. I was, and am trying to help you find the source of your problem (hence the headphone recomendation). I'm hoping the speaker is not the problem, in all honesty. Bobby h...

Jim2 Again, comments I make get twisted and blown out of proportion. I did not say the GMA speakers make all recordings sound good. I said they make them more enjoyable and more listenable. Again they do this by not adding additional phase distort... 
GMA Callisto VS. Merlin TSM
Minbean, Never did I say ONLY GMA was good. I have not listened to the TSM, but I would expect them to sound very good....perhaps a little up front. They use excellent drivers, good cabinetry and are well designed. Fullrange speakers have more pha...

"REMARKS : It is extremely transparent/sensitive and very picky for recording. I am going to try different phono stages and cables to make it more forgiving for some situations I have to play lower-fi recordings"Minbeam, those words you wrote stru...

"Such good sound in such modest settings - to me, it felt that the speaker had removed the speaker-room equation"It has been minimized via physics. One of the great things about GMA speakers is that they sound good with most any amplifier. I agree... 
Which is Best loudspeaker in the $1000-1200 range?
GMA Europa's. Work great with solid state or tubes. Very amplifier friendly. Built like a tank using cast marble enclosures, first order crossovers, premium drivers, etc. Just read thru the threads here for confirmation. Do a search for "GMA Europa" 
Speaker Sugestions Wanted $1500 max
Aktchi,I sold high end audio for over a decade, so I heard virtually everything that was out there at some point. Some of the new, small companies that have popped up I have yet to hear. I would like to hear the Zu speakers, they seem to be on the...

I second the GMA Europa's. Amazing speaker for under a grand. The other poster is right....once you own GMA speakers you will always own GMA speakers. I just ordered the new Calypso.......anxiously awaiting delivery. 
What don't you like about these speakers?
You should add the Green Mountian Audio Callisto to your list. It would best the other three in my opinion quite easily if reproducing whats on the recording is your objective. Do a search here for others opinions on this speaker or read Paul Cand... 
Opinions on Onix Reference 1 monitors??
Check out the GMA Europa's for the same cost. Cast marble cabinets, 1st order crossovers for true time/phase alignment, exceptional drivers, designed by physics, not cosmetics. Do a search here for other owners comments....or check them out at htt...
